The monthly global temperature anomaly using a baseline of 1961-1990 shows a small drop from it’s peak value of 1.6C in September 2023 to 1.21C.
This is probably due to a decline in the strong El Nino as shown below

It’s too early to say what the annual temperature will end up as but if this cooling trend continues then it is unlikely to be significantly warmer than 2023.
